L. Sylvester. WANTS TO KNOW WHERE THAT $100 HE PAID IS. County Attorney Loud Asked to Issue Warrant for Arrest of Former Auditor. HONOR THE DEPARTED District Court Memorial Services for the Late Leslie H. Bailey. ADDRESSES BY MEMBERS OF THE BELTRAMI COUNTY BAR Touching Tributes to the Worth, Ability and Legal Acumen of Mr. Bailey. County Commissioner Wes Wright this morning made a de- mand upon County Attorney Loud for a warrant for the arrest of D. L. Sylvester, formerly county auditor of Beltrami rails will be laid the entire dis- tance, and, so far as the contract ors are concerned, the railway will be completed about half way to the terminus at Red Lake, In spite of the heavy rains and his companions he remained under water for 15 minutes and when the body was finally re covered life was extinct and at- tempts at bringing him back to life were fruitless. The Fogelquist family live about two and one-half miles from Farley and the young man and his older brother were both employed on the drive, the father Chas. Fogelquist, being employ- ed ata wood cutting camp near Farris. The father was notified of the accident and passed through the city this morning on his way to the scene of the accident. MAY BE FOOLED; CAN'T BE BLUFFED Council Meeting Developes Fireworks—Mayor Hen- derson States Position. At the meeting of the city coun- cil last evening Recorder Bailey made a determined and pro- longed effort to recind the ac- tion of the council in letting the city printing to the Pioneer. In view of the fact that the printing had already been let to the Pio neer Councilmen Swedback and Graham and Mayor Henderson thought that the matter was set- tled. The bid of the News was expunged from the records. A protest was read from the News objecting to the letting of the printing to the Pioneer on the ground of illegality and conspir- acy. Mayor Henderson asked what should be done with the communication and Recorder Bailey sarcastically suggested that it was not in order. “Any- thing that comes from that source seems to be out of order,” said Mr. Bailey. This moved Mayor Henderson to remark that he did not propose to be dictated to by any councilman, that he would do what he thought was right, that he might be fooled now and then but that he could not be blaffed. This vigorous enunciation of in- backward weather, fair progress has been made in grading and it is expected by the contractors that the entire road will be com- pleted sometime in July. A test of the bridge across Lake Irvine at the outlet of the Mississippi river was made yes- terday by running the new loco motive and a number of cars load- ed with rails over it. The bridge withstood the test satisfactory, and although the structure is over 900 feet in length not a weak spot was found, A gravel train will be put on tomorrow to gravel the road from Bemidji through the swamp to Walker’s spur, a distance of about three miles, which has al ready been supplied with steel.

Capps, of Capps, Ala. “I used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy with the most satisfactory results. I think this is the best remedy I haye ever seen for whooping cough.” This remedy keeps the cough loose, lessens the severity and fre- quency of the coughing spells and counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia.

Not alone in snappy stylish- ness but in mechanical detail, The Clothcraft clothing of to- day will outwear that of ten or five years ago, even though the cloth quality be the same. The Clotherafters study all the while to give permanence to the shape—to strengthen the strain points so there will be no stretch or sag. There is doubt whether the 1905 Clothcraft product can be improved. Itseems as though perfection has been reached. Clothes made by the high- est priced tailors of New York and London have been dis- sected and every good feature reproduced. To these have. been added some new features —made exclusive by United States pmems When you wear Clothcraft you are well dressed no matter where you choose to go. There is nothing better in style—in fit—in wear. Schnexder Bros. Yesterday afternoon at lhe court house was held an ad- journed term of the district court, Judge M. A. Spooner pre- siding and every member of the Beltrami county bar in the city lattending, when the memorial services in honor of the late Leslie H Bailey were held. Court convened at 2:30 and Judge Spooner announced that the hour set for the memorial services for Mr. Bailey had ar- rived, whereupon P.J. Russell arose and offered the following resolutions whose adoption was moved by D. H. Fisk: WHEREAS; At a meeting of the Bench and Bar of Beltrami couaty, called for the purpnse of taking suitable action upon the death of L. H. Bailey Esq. late 2 member of the Beltrami County Bar Association. who died on the 12th day of March 1905, held on the lhh day of March 1905, a committee was ap- pointed to draft and present to the Court, an appropriate reso lution. In pursuance of such action the committee respectfully submit the following: WHEREAS; Death has re- moved from our midst a mem- ber of our protession, a leading and honored fellow citizen, and v We are desirous g our regard for our brother, whose unhmely death came with such a shock to his host of friends in this county and northern Miunesota, and caused so deep a sorrow over this community, whose int 5 he had during the best years of his life, promoted and subserved: now therefore be it REsoLvep; By the members of the Benck and Bar of Bel- trami county, in Bemidji, as- sembled, that we realize nml feel that in the death of L. Bailey, we have exparienced <II](] suffered a loss well nigh ivrepar- able. L. H. Bailey was pos- sessed of all the elements and attributes, which go to make up a great law, |ulevutv fidel- ity to trust, earnestness of pur- pose, and ambition. He was ag- gressive and formidable in de- hate and eloguent in the cause of right and justice. From in- timate acquaintance with the de- and ceased, we bear honest earnest test 'mony to his ste worth as a man and a c Bemidji. His personality was strong, he made {riends casily. and held them ever after. He was fond of friends and home, he was generous to a fau! d he was at all tim willing to help Lln or afiliction. aring his confi- dence and wvm , his friendship shall ever live In our highest esteem and regard, and hi labors for the "und "of Iit‘muhl witl long be vemembered by her citizens; and further RESOLVED; That these pro- ceedings be engrossed and made apart of the records of this court, and that copies thereof be be presented to the family and relatives of the deceased, as the Court may direct. E. F. GRAWFORD. GRAHAM Tl)llRAVC!" P. J. Rus Commlmee Tue'erurt then asked if there were any remarks whereupon the following members of the bar spoke (in part) as follows: CHARLES W. SCRUTCHIN I cannot allow this melancholy occasinn to pass without saying a few words of appreciation of our departed brother, Leslie H. Bailay. Although belonging to opprsing political factions Mr. Bailey and myself were on the most friendly terms for' the en tire seven years during which I knew him, His generosity was aleading trait of his character but it was no more pronounced than his legal ability which was very great. He was at the time of his death scarcely more thana young manand had he been per- mitted to round out his life into old age there is no telling to what heights he might have attained in his chosen profession. HERBERT J. LOUD. It affords me infinite satisfac- tion at this time to remember that* although the political in- terests of Mr. Bailey and myself often clashed we met as mutual friends shortly before his death and were completely reconciled. T believe I knew Mr. Bailey as did few men. He was a man of extra- ordinary native ability and one of the most dangerous antagon- ists beforea jury that I haye o d s I’l‘heS tha_:aaf!

In ingenuity, legal acumen and eloquence he had few peers while his charity was as wide as the heavens. I be- lieve that he had - no personal enemy on earth. E. E. McDONALD The record of any good man is a pleasant thing to contemplate amd 1 may safely say that if Li+lie H, Bailey had any fault it vas that he was too charitable. rom personal observation I am sure that at least one third of his time and energy was given to the ulvancement of the interests of his city and county, his friends or some paor person. Mr. Bailey wasja vigorous, active, energetic man and his purposes often ‘lashed with those of others, but aever for one moment did he en- tertain a feeling of revenge or bitterness for those who were arrayed against him. Never did T hear him speak a harsh word of his opponents but often has he excused thase who spoke bitter- ly of Lim. It hus bee1 truly said that he might have attained great lLeights not only in the legal profession but also in statesmanship and ,citizenship had he lived. His last words, “I bear noill will to ward any man” were a fitting repitome of his whole life. P. J. RUSSELL. Two years ago the eloquent voice of Leslie H. Bailey was iraised insorrow in this very room for the death of a gifted tmember of this bar; today we meet in sadness to remember that another of our best citizens has been taken from us. Mr. Bailey was loved as are few men even the children on the streets, during his last illness, would stop their play to inquire of the passer by, “How is L. H. Baile today?”’ His was alife of useful- ness but when the summons came he was ready., He had: everything to live for; idolized !, wife and children, father and mother, loving relatives, friends, a brilliant future, yet he simply said, live, but T am not afraid to die.” JUDGE M. A, SPOONER, To one outside the pale of an intimate relationship was not to know the man. His was nota %Y | case recen tly faithtul | when he was told that he must go “I would like tn' vindictive spi ln was a,f(ngl\'~ ing nature. He was possessed in the largest degree of the pirit of charity. To him the chief emoluments of his office as attor- ney were results, not fees. Never have I known him to re- fuse a case if he deemed it meri- torious, even though there was absolutely no prospect of {ees, even though there was a cer- tainty that he would bhe actually called upon to put his own money into the case. His ability as a criminal lawyer wa picuous, far above the ordinary. The ability and positive genius with which he conducted the Artz in this court was conclusive proof to all the world ithat his talent for eriminal prac- (tice was very unusual. Tt is true, s been said, .that had his ‘Il'o been spared, he might have lattained to distinguished honors {in his chosen profession, The resolutions of the bar in imemory of Mr. Bailey will be spread upon the records of the court, Typewriter supplies of all kinds at Pioneer office.
